I was very upset over Mark Calcavecchia's recent comment about coming to Flint. A lot of volunteers go out of their way to make the golfers feel at home and it is very hurtful to hear him say something like that about an area that has faced recent setbacks.

The people of Flint and Grand Blanc always do whatever they can to be hospitable to the visitors and golfers, and it's a shame it has all gone unappreciated by Mr. Calcavecchia. Many people have lost their jobs in Flint and I just don't think it's right to kick a city when it's already down.

His comment was: While nobody likes rain delays, veteran Mark Calcavecchia was not overly concerned about changing his schedule before heading to Michigan for the Buick Open.

"Ever been to Flint, Michigan?" he asked. "I'm in no hurry to get there."
